Brendan Angelides (aka ESKMO) (Billions, 13 Reasons Why, Naked Singularity) has been tapped to score the upcoming Showtime anthology series Super Pumped. The first installment, entitled The Battle for Uber, is based on Mike Isaac’s bestselling book of the same title and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Kyle Chandler, Uma Thurman, Elisabeth Shue, Kerry Bishé, Jon Bass, Bridget Gao Hollitt and Babak Tafti. Brian Koppelman (Rounders, The Girlfriend Experience), David Levien (The Illusionist, Runaway Jury) & Beth Schacter serve as the writers and showrunners of the drama, which depicts the roller-coaster ride of the upstart transportation company, embodying the highs and lows of Silicon Valley. Koppelman, Levien & Schacter are also executive producing the project with Paul Schiff (My Cousin Vinny, Mona Lisa Smile), Stephen Schiff (The Americans, American Assassin) and Allyce Ozarski (The L Word: Generation Q). Allen Coulter (Hollywoodland, Remember Me) has directed and executive produced the first episode. Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber will premiere on February 27 on Showtime.
Angelides also continues to score the Koppelman- & Levien-created and -produced Showtime series Billions, which just returned for its sixth season this past Sunday.
